Paleo Protein Bar Baking Strategies

By Diana Weiman


Paleo nutrition bars can be a healthy, simple snack that can keep you satisfied and provide you energy. In addition, these bars do not have all the unhealthy processed ingredients that can damage your diet plan. If you cannot find a flavor you like or you do not wish to purchase store-bought treats, you can bake your own at home by following a basic list of ingredients.

Components in paleo protein bars vary, however, they typically consist of a range of nuts and seeds, an element that keeps the blend together, seasoning and often an additional source of protein. Recipes can also be altered to improve flavors, boost protein or increase selection.

I don't think there is one "best" recipe, as different individuals have different tastes. In fact, lots of people who make their own paleo protein bars have actually tested several various recipes before settling on one or two that they truly like.

Using a Variety of Nuts and Seeds

There are lots of options when it pertains to nuts and seeds. Some popular options are almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamias, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. Using a range of different seeds in your baking will create a special texture and increase the nourishment value.

Keeping Your Bar from Crumbling to Pieces

Of course, the point of making hand-held snacks is to have an easy-to-eat (and in some cases portable) treat that will not fall apart in your hand as you are biting into it. There are a variety of different ingredients you can add to make everything stick together, while at the same time boosting the dietary value of your paleo snack.

Here are some examples: almond butter or other nut butters, coconut oil combined with almond meal, protein powder mixed with an egg or raw honey. As you can see, some ingredients contain more protein and some are sweeter or more flavorful than others. You can add a number of these sticky components - or you can include all of them.

Enhancing the Flavor

This is where the food preparation gets fun. With a basic spice or extract, you can alter the entire taste of your bars without changing the entire recipe. For instance, many people add cinnamon, cocoa or vanilla extract, but you can also utilize peppermint, lemon extract, chili pepper, hazelnut, and so on.

Additionally, you can include other nutritious flavor enhancers like shredded unsweetened coconut or dried fruit like blueberries or dried apples.

The Cooking Process

The technique of baking protein bars can also vary, depending on the components you use and the size of your recipe. In general, the procedure involves baking your bars in the oven at about 325 degrees for about 10 minutes - give or take a few minutes.
